# Vault Ownership Changes

## Transfer via Smart Contract

To transfer ownership of a Fusion vault, you need to use a two-step process involving `transferOwnership()` and `acceptOwnership()` functions.

### Ownership Transfer Process

1. **Current owner initiates transfer**: Call `transferOwnership(newOwnerAddress)` on the vault contract
2. **New owner accepts**: Call `acceptOwnership()` to complete the transfer

This follows OpenZeppelin's Ownable two-step ownership transfer pattern for security.

### Example Implementation

```solidity
// Step 1: Current owner initiates transfer
vm.prank(currentOwner);
vault.transferOwnership(newOwner);

// Step 2: New owner accepts ownership
vm.prank(newOwner);
vault.acceptOwnership();
```

### Notes

* The ownership transfer is not immediate - it requires both steps to complete
* After successful transfer, the new owner gains all ownership privileges like fee configuration
* The old owner loses all ownership privileges after the transfer is complete

This two-step process prevents accidental ownership transfers and ensures the new owner explicitly accepts the responsibility.

## Transfer via Fusion Web App

This feature is currently under development.
